The Carat Standard

GIA report 6552960929

2.50 ct Round Brilliant Diamond

88/100 · Refined

A strong, composed candidate on paper.

What reads well

  • The GIA Excellent cut grade corroborates the measured proportions.
  • Excellent polish and symmetry, the top finish grades.
  • G color should face up white in most settings.
  • Faint fluorescence: no haze risk to weigh.
  • Slightly thick girdle balances durability and weight retention.

What deserves a closer look

  • Crown 31.5° / pavilion 41° fall outside the pairing zone associated with strong light return.
  • Confirm this SI1 round brilliant is eye-clean from an image or video; the report plot shows where inclusions sit.
  • Feathers are listed: check the plot for any that reach the girdle or surface, which matters for durability.

What to check on the exact stone

  • Can I see this stone in soft daylight away from store spotlights to verify its sparkle?
  • Does the sparkle look bright and even all the way out to the edges?
  • Does the large table look bright but flat, with less colored fire than you expected?
  • Does the feather reach the outer edge where a setting prong could put pressure on it?
